Windows Mobility Center - How to Disable

Is there any way to disable or uninstall the Windows Mobility Center? It pops up uninvited - many times a day - without being invoked and even changes settings on its own. I am DESPERATE for an answer. It is beyond annoying.

Hi SallyG141414,

NOTE : By trying the below two steps Windows Mobility Center will be disabled and you will not be able to use it. To be able to use it again you will have to follow the same steps instead of Enable you will have to select Disable in option e.

a)     Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press ENTER

b)     Expand User Configuration: User Configuration->Administrative Templates-> Windows Components->Windows Mobility Center

c)      In the right pane, right click on Turn off Windows Mobility Center and click on Edit.

d)     To Disable Windows Mobility Center

e)     select the option Enable

f)      Click on OK.

g)     Close the Local Group Policy Editor window.

If you do not have gpedit.msc in your computer, then you may follow the below mentioned steps to disable it through registry editor:

Step 2: Using the Registry Editor

Important: The below mentioned method contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
